Abstract :Trauma is an unexpected and terrifying event that has the potential to damage a person\`s bodily integrity or risk death. After this event, some negative emotional, cognitive and behavioral reactions are observed in people. If it has been 1 month or more after the event, and if the person shows avoidance behavior in addition to these negative reactions, or experiences the event over and over with flashbacks and has increased arousal, it can be mentioned that the person shows the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PTSD);. Just as every behavior we do during the day has a neurobiological basis, the reactions shown during and after trauma also have a neurobiological basis. The stress at the time of trauma causes various activities in the brain and as a result of these activities, changes occur in the person\`s feelings, thoughts and behaviors. So we can talk about a two-way interaction. This interaction of different systems helps us understand PTSD.
